So I started as a player, but a year or so ago I went as a goalie because my team needed one. I always wanted to be one, but I couldn't because of the cost of kit, but they had some (horrible) kit I could borrow.

Anyway I bought some pads from an end of year sale (leg pads, blocker and catcher) and I wanted to clean them. When I looked online, all the tutorials talked about how to get rid of puck marks which are useful but I was more curious about giving them a proper clean. With my player kit, I can just throw it in a bath with some soap, can I do that with goalie kit.

I'm not sure if this is the right sub for this, so apologies if it isn't.

I need to use R for my university. I've managed to teach myself enough for the level I'm at through reverse engineering a script someone made for me, and following some online tutorials.

Most tutorials introduce you to a concept, then give you an example for how to use it. I had a look at the pinned post and from the description it seems like the resources there do that same thing. And that's useful to see how the code is used, but to me at least I feel it's limited because I'm just copying what someone did without really having to use my brain to solve an issue of how to use the code. Another issue is that I don't really know what to do to practice R.

I'm just wondering if there's a resource out there that basically give you tasks of increasing difficulties to practice coding in R?

Apologies if this isn't the best sub for this, but I think part of my problem is due to me neurodivergent.

I'm non-binary (AMAB) and use they/them pronouns. My friend made me realise that I don't like to be perceived in a masculine sense.

I told my friends that my preference is they/them, but I didn't mind if people mistakenly used he/him. This was only because I didn't want people to panic and feel bad if they used he/him. But when people do use he/him it hurts.

It went well for a few weeks with people using they/them, and it made me feel good, especially since I haven't been able to come out to my family yet (it's not that they're anti-trans, but it's complicated).

But then people started using he/him again, and now it's got to the point people seem to be exclusively using he/him and perceiving me in a masculine sense. Every time they do, it hurts.

When they started, I hoped it was just a mistake and they'd go back to they/them but it hasn't. I didn't want to correct them for the same reasons mentioned above. I tried dropping hints about it (e.g., wearing a pronoun badge with they/them on) but no change.

It's got to the point now where I do want to say something, but I don't know how. I'm scared because when something similar happens, it was turned against me. We have a shared birthday calendar and I paid attention to it to see when people's birthdays were to make sure I didn't miss them, but people missed mine and all I said was "it's my birthday today", they became defensive and made it feel like my fault for not telling anyone and how not everyone pays attention to that calender like I do.

I'm scared that if I come out and overtly tell them something like "actually I prefer to be perceived in a gender neutral sense", then they'll be like "well you should have told us before" and make me feel worse about myself.

I am the Nothing Phone (2) and while it's served me well, the battery has got worse.

I've saw some people say if you factory reset the phone and install the most recent update, it helps the battery a lot.

Has anyone tried this?

I find it so hard to process numbers that are communicated to me verbally. If they're written down, fine. But when someone tells me numbers I have to almost visualise them written down to be able to process what number the person said.

I have told people this, but they still insist on telling me numbers, specifically time, quickly and get annoyed at me for getting confused or needing a moment to mentally, or physically, write the numbers down.

What is it the ring announcer says before each match before the wrestler's music hits?

I started watching NJPW during the G1 a few years ago, so I assumed it was something to do with that because it sounded like he said climax, but he says it before every match.

I'm having issues with the MyAEW app on my Fire stick. When I tried to open the app today it opens and shows the loading symbol, but it crashes and closes before anything loads.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but I get the same issue. I was just curious if anyone is having the same issue I am having.

I'm curious how other neurodivergents make friends, especially with other neurodivergents.

I have always been bad with social situations so it's hard for me to go to social events and meet people let alone build a relationship with them. There are people I spend time with now, but I wouldn't say I'm at a friend level with them (for example I wouldn't really feel confident asking to spend time together without feeling like I'm bothering them and they'd want to spend time with me).

I just wish I had some nerdy neurodivergent friends I got on well with that I felt confident enough with to fully unmask and just send a random neurodivergent message to and not feel bad immediately after.
